Abstract

An access node has a portal which performs interfacing between a wireless network domain and content / service providers in the Internet. On the wireless side the portal is linked with an SMSC, a CBC, and a USSD server for interfacing with and management of bearer stacks. Service functionality includes modular systems including a Push server, a Pre-paid calling server, and a location server in addition to internal portal functions. The latter provide for subscriber self-provisioning, customer care provisioning, subscriber device provisioning, and service provisioning. Thus, the node caters for both particular subscriber service and mobile device requirements.

Description

The invention relates to provision of mobile Internet services.PRIOR ART DISCUSSIONThe primary technology for mobile Internet applications is Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) technology. However; other technologies are also important, including voice, Short Message Service (SMS), GPRS, and 3GIP. It is known to provide a WAP gateway to provide access of mobile users to Internet content.Delivering Internet based services to the wireless domain opens an extensive new market for network operators and content providers. However, when mobile, user needs and expectations differ greatly from when they may be in an office or home environment. Mobile users are unlikely to use their handsets to `surf the web` at present as they might on a PC--at least until such time as available bandwidth is greatly increased and mobile networks have the necessary capacity to support such activities on a widescale basis.Instead, mobile subscribers are more likely to have much more specific requirements whe...
